Yomiko Readman (Read or Die) vs Wonder Woman (Wonder Woman movie)

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

This is Diana only from her first live action movie (as her feats from BvS are much higher and thus wouldn't be fair).

Can the bibliophile take down the Amazon Princess, or with the warrior win out over the teacher?

How fast is Diana? Yomiko is able to block bullets at point bank range without even paying attention. Also, how durable is she? Yomiko can casually chop down metal structures like butter.

Fast enough to block bullets at point blank range.
Durable enough to tank explosives and large objects hitting her, etc.
Ambiguously, she has a weakness to bullets but not sure how it works with swords or anything yet.

[Kuro]

Yomiko's paper swords are capable of blocking blows from lightsabers, so... yeah..

Also her bullet block is actually more impressive than some run-of-the-mill point blank shot because in the time the bullet left the barrel, she had to pull out the paper, use her ability to harden it and then block her face with it, while looking for a book.

Comparable speed, or at least to the level that one does not blitz the other.

Diana has an edge in strength and durability, Yomiko has perhaps a slight edge in speed and an edge in versatility as her paper can twist and arc in unpredictable ways, and can be shaped into things like full-cover shields and such.

Bloodlusted, Yomiko does a paper storm that floods the arena with razor sharp shards of paper from all directions at the same time, which is a far cry from things Diana has blocked. Her only hope is to do an AOE/bracelet shockwave, but I doubt that will put Yomiko down if she has her shields up. Diana has no demonstrated resistance against cutting damage, much more the kind of cutting damage Yomiko puts out.

So both of them do their big finishers at the start. Yomiko does a paper storm while Diana does a bracelet shockwave. Yomiko might get knocked around, but Diana dies.

As far as I'm aware this board has never 'compartmentalized' durability except for instances like the comics version of Wonder Woman where it's a specifically-mentioned weakness of hers. Force is force and the film version of Wonder Woman, who as of now has no stated weakness to bladed weapons or bullets, standing around in Doomsday's shockwave is more than enough durability proof that Yomiko's not going to be able to casually shred her.

OP said no BVS Diana, so no Doomsday feats.

Whether movie Diana is vulnerable to bladed weapons has been debated ad-infinitum, which I suspect this thread will go nowhere with until it gets settled. I will only note that Diana has been wounded by a bullet, and blocks bullets and bladed weapons swung at her, all of which were portrayed as being dangerous to her person, the entire movie. On the other hand, she has *never* outright tanked a bullet or bladed weapon, Superman-style. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

WW's shield is standard equipment so she can use it to block the projectiles. Also, the AOE should be enough to deflect the projectiles as well.

The shield is *not* enough to block the projectiles - If Yomiko does a paper storm, they come from all directions and change direction in flight, and Yomiko can put thousands of pages in the air (she carries a briefcase of paper, and has unholy amounts of it underneath her clothes, as standard). Think of it like dodging a snowstorm, only each piece can slice through steel like butter.

The AOE *might* be able to deflect the projectiles, but given the range its not enough to outright kill Yomiko, and deflecting the projectiles only means they are pushed away from her, it doesn't mean they don't stop coming.
